Khattak, his elder son, Ashraf khan Hijri is the poet who because of fourteen
years of incessant prison and death meanwhile, has the renown as " the poet
of chains". Ashraf khan Hijri, like his father, has been the victim of Mughal
political and bureaucratic outrage and was victimized so that not only he
spent fourteen precious years of his life in the Mughal prison but also

has been pinpointed in the backdrop of historical event of the time and in the
